His last words will be “This’ll be the day that I die”.




“Uh-oh, I had it mixed up with uxorious!” — from the Comments


They went to the right place for “Dad jokes”, evidently.

But do we care about it?




The logic clicks for me



A group that my project was coordinating with had moved offices, and the first time I visited there on business the admin assistant was showing me around, and pointed out the pretty nice view thru the ground-level glass doors onto the large grassy area between their building and the complex of the Court Theatre and Smart Museum. “This is our great view!” she said. When I agreed that it was, well, quite okay, she told me to walk by the nearest area of lawn on my way out. I did, and then saw the large air grate embedded in the lawn right outside that office, and in fact blowing exhaust at the moment. So I had to admit, they had a grate view! [==mitch]

OY by virtue of ambiguous parsing of [[comic strip] bar] versus [comic [strip bar]]. But y’know, as Will Rogers is never quite quoted as saying, I never meta man I didn’t like. And also a man’s reach should exceed his grasp, else what’s a metaphor?

Who’s ready for a bit more Fusco?

A nice LOL-Ewww:


And then a nice LOL-Awwww:


And who doesn’t enjoy a good Alexa-Siri joke?




And an Ouch-LOL:

He meant to order an inflatable doll, but received an inflatable bed of nails.

P.S. A couple days later, this character and that prop re-appear; but decidedly not funny :-( .

BTW, Gocomics gives this feature filenames that look like loesp230927.jpg, clueing us that at some point they were considering it to be Life On Earth in Spanish. (The same artist does the Life on Earth comic.)


Again on the meta train.

A sad-LOL.



This might be a Semi-CIDU, as there is the question of whether this is how the cowboy bathes (and gets the horse to manage the timing and coins), or it’s at the horse’s volition as it wants its gear and rider to be clean.


The “when I look” and “someone will sneak” look like ordinary indicatives, with something like habitual aspect. But surely this doesn’t happen a lot! If we take into account the strip title, that makes this binocular-knocking one of those fears — we just have to understand a “One of my fears is that when ..” at the start and it all comes together.


And here’s our Macabre-LOL for the week:

Diacritical impatience?

Yes, just as you suppose, this did appear on Talk Like A Pirate Day.


And more off the mark…






And a date-topical OY:
